Hi Simon,
I have just done it with mine. Fit the rubber boot first with its lip to the
caliper. When the lip is properly in the groove, then push the piston in the
caliper and when its nearly at the end of travel the lip automatically jumps
in the groove of the piston. The most fiddling is to get the first step done -
rubber boot to caliper and to get the piston in passing the inner rubber
sealing ring. I use some Penrite rubber grease and grease the rubber boot and
sealing ring before fitting. You need most of the time for the first one to
get the trick.

Betreff: [Healeys] fitting piston/caliper seals
Hi,
Can someone kindly remind me of the proper/easiest way to fit the seals into
my MkII BT7's callipers? I'm referring to the rubber boot things that go into
the outer groove within the bore and the groove around the top of the piston.
Likewise, don't I recall that the inner seal was slightly tapered? My new ones
are square in cross section.
Simon
